Someone tell me why United allows us into the regular lounge but not Polaris at ORD. Hopefully the new lounge in C makes up for it I miss Delta.

OP’s comment doesn’t make sense. “If I have access to your airplane, let me sit in whatever class I want.” “If I have access to your sports stadium, let me sit wherever I want.”

Who is “us”? I thought Polaris was a premium lounge product for first class or something

I get it. It’s unnecessary prohibitive. If I have access to your lounge give me access to all of your lounges.

Polaris is only for Polaris, transcontinental/international

United allows domestic non-business class into lounge? Since when? I though you had to pay, even with status you can't get in...

OP, the whole point of Polaris is that it's exclusive. That's one of the draws. You can't just get "membership" to the Polaris lounge––you have to be flying Polaris. Wtf are you talking about.

And yes, Polaris is for first class intl passengers only.

I see OP’s point - if I pay for united club membership, why can’t I use Polaris in lieu of the regular club since there is no club in term C? I am with ya OP

That was my main point. They should at least make Polaris available until the construction is over. Could be a strategic way for them to sell folks on getting a membership to that lounge. And yes I know one does not exist now but I bet some people are willing to pay a lot of money to use the amenities.
